Study Notes
Behaviour Change Techniques (BCTs)
- BCTs are observable, replicable components useful in promoting behaviour change, either alone or in combinations.
- Examples include information provision, goal setting, feedback, and action plans.
- The efficacy of BCTs can be measured to assess their impact on lifestyle behaviour change.
Evidence Supporting BCTs
- A meta-analysis of 122 studies highlighted self-monitoring of behaviour as the most effective BCT.
- Effect size for self-monitoring was significantly higher (0.45) compared to no self-monitoring (0.0), indicating its critical role.
- Combining self-monitoring with additional BCTs furthers the effectiveness of behaviour change strategies.
Motivation's Role in Behaviour Change
- Motivation influences the initiation, direction, persistence, and termination of behaviour.
- It can stem from conscious deliberative processes or unconscious automatic processes.
- Effective behaviour change requires understanding the individual patient’s capability, opportunity, and level of motivation, particularly relating to their specific behaviour targets.
Patient-Centred Consultation
- BCTs should target components of the COM-B framework, focusing on capability, opportunity, and motivation.
- A collaborative approach engages patients, allowing them to express their needs regarding health behaviours.
- Health care professionals play a supportive role in fostering patient autonomy and reinforcing behavioural commitment.
Health Behaviour Change Theories
- The Health Belief Model emphasizes perceived susceptibility, threat severity, and benefits versus costs to motivate behaviour change.
- The Theory of Planned Behaviour focuses on attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioural control to understand intentions for change.
Motivational Interviewing (MI)
- MI comprises four stages: Engagement, Focussing, Evoking, and Planning, which help structure patient-provider interactions.
- The four principles include expressing empathy, supporting self-efficacy, developing discrepancy, and rolling with resistance.
- Key skills include using open-ended questions, affirmations, reflective listening, and summarizing to facilitate dialogue and encourage behaviour change.
OARS Technique
- Open questions: Encourage detailed responses about the patient's perspective.
- Affirmations: Recognize and validate the patient’s strengths to build rapport.
- Reflective listening: Paraphrase and reflect feelings to demonstrate understanding.
- Summarizing: Consolidate discussions to clarify understanding and guide next steps.
The Importance of Change Talk
- Change talk is a critical indicator of a patient’s commitment to change; it should be recognized, elicited, affirmed, and reflected.
- Sustain talk indicates ambivalence; practitioners should navigate conversations to reduce resistance and focus on reinforcing motivations for change.
Motivational Rulers
- Importance Ruler: Assesses how important a behaviour change is on a scale of 0-10.
- Confidence Ruler: Measures the patient’s confidence in achieving a goal, gauging readiness for change.
